I’m married to a hunter. I’ve been made aware of this every single fall since the day we started dating 16 years ago. Back then, I never in my wildest dreams would’ve imagined myself cooking and eating what he brought home. But here I am. A little older, wiser and I actually find the thought of him hunting and me cooking it rather awesome.

I realize I am a dork… and I’m okay with it.

Before today, I’ve never broke down a pheasant into parts. Yet, there I stood, squared off with a boning knife, staring down at these two birds ready to attack. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and took a stab at it. 😉 I was amazed how easy it actually was! My knife slid down the keel bone and voila! I removed 4 breasts and then the tenderloins! And it only took me 10 minutes! I was proud of myself and not to mention I felt totally bad ass!

If you need or want to check out an excellent step-by-step to learn how it’s done, then look here.

So when Pat told me we had pheasants, the first thing I thought of was barbecue pizza. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of trying bbq pizza… you are so missing out! You could easily swap out the pheasant for chicken, I just thought how cool would it be to try one of my favorite pizzas this way.

Just sprinkle a chicken {or pheasant} breast with salt, black pepper and a little garlic powder then grill them until they’re cooked through. For pheasants, because the breasts are smaller, it took me about 3 minutes a side. But, once cooked you only need a cup of meat diced up small.

This looks amazing – right up my alley! I've been dying to make pizza. Might even have to make this for dinner tonight! Thanks for sharing – your photos are beautiful! I really need to get a better lens for my camera. What do you use?

You just brought back a flood of memories from my childhood because you used brick cheese! I haven't found it anywhere here, but my Mom buys it all the time back home and I LOVE it! Pheasant, not so much! But, I've never tried it. I assume it tastes like chicken?

This pizza is next!! I am so stoked for it! I'm thinking maybe this weekend. Trav has two tests due this week, so I'm thinking barbeque pizza would most def be a good treat for him. Mmmm! Can't wait to try that barbeque sauce!

I’ve been craving a really good bbq chicken pizza for a while now and was looking for a great recipe. I had already tried some of your other recipes and they were fabulous, so I tried this one out. I first used your pizza dough recipe which was perfect! I made my pizza with only the bbq sauce you have put on here, grilled chicken, and cheese. It was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and would be great even with more toppings I’m sure.

Thank you so much!

Welcome!

Over the past few years I’ve been on a mission to find and create recipes that I can make from scratch. I hope you enjoy the recipes on this blog as they are tried and true from my kitchen to yours!
